Tour Overview

Of all kind of
fishing, the best one surely is trophy fishing! Go on a one week fishing trip
to one of the most beautiful places of all Russia: the River Bolshaya at the
junction of the Rivers Bytraya and Plotkova in the center of the Kamchatka
Territory. The River Bolshaya is accessible, full of fish and, most of all, holds
a treasure. A trophy fish that every angler dreams to reel: the Chinook Salmon,
also called King Salmon. It can be more than 180 centimeters long (6 feet) and weigh
about 40 kilograms (90 pounds).

Whether you are
a beginner or an advanced angler, this fishing trip will suit you well. Our
seasoned guides will help you take to this activity that tends to be a bit of a
gamble at times. And if you wish to try your hand at a professional level, a
contest for the best angler – or for the luckiest! – will be hold. But you can
be sure of one thing – this fishing trip won’t let anybody down without a
catch!

Throughout this trip,
you’ll experience all the aspects of Russian fishing. In the evening you’ll
rest in the wooden houses of the fishing village and relax in Russian banyas.

Get ready to
visit one of the most beautiful places of all Russia and become a salmon fishing
enthusiast!
